"eWE US THIS Day"


Life brought her nothing men call good
None of its brightest or its best
But sorrow broke her solitude,
And anguish sought her patient breast,
Yet through it all, her faith was strong,
And strongest when most dark her lot;
She knew that peace was hers ere long,
Where sorrow dies, and tears are not,
So, with clasped hands and bended head,
Her lips could say:
"Give us this day
Our daily bread"
She climbed the weary hill of life,
With feet unaided and unshod
(Save by Gods grace), and constant strife
Attended every step she trod.
Yet, through the gloom these shadows made
A light about her feet was cast,
And lifting up her voice, she laid
Her load where loads must come at last.
Hence, those poor lips so scantly fed
In faith could say:
'Give us this day
Our daily bread"

hair and burst out laughing. At this juncture the door was thrown open unceremoniously, and a little velvet and lace figure came bounding in. They all turned to look at this in- formal visitor, who made straight for Clinton and perched herself upon his knee. "My mamma said I could go over to see you, but you wasn't at home, so I comed up here." And she shook her golden locks in Clinton's face.
 "Let me introduce my little friend and neighbor, Adele Goswayne," said Clinton, looking keenly up at Ada with bold eyes, laughing merrily un- der his moustache. Ada clung to a chair in confusion, holding out her shapely hand to the pretty child perched like one of Albani's little loves. Out in the full flood of the moonlight Ada and Clinton carried Adele to the gate, where a nurse waited to take her home. There, as softly as the blossoms break, as sweetly as fragrant petals part, the old story was unfolded by eager lips to the ears of a loving listener.

fume, and the artificial oil of bitter almonds. Probably the most remark able of all coal-tar products, of which the preparation of a complete list would be serious task, is sacchs rine. which is more than POO times as sweet as sugar, and offers us a sweetenino agent that is not a food and has no effect upon the body.
 THE REPTILEs.-The tortoises are estimated by Hoffman to number somewhat more than two hun dred and fifty species. Their home IS in the tropic and temperate regions, their northern limit be- ing the fiftieth or fifty-fifth par allel. About forty species are found in the United States, and only five in Europe. The elephant turtle attains weight of 500 pounds, while fossil tortoise of India appears to have been not less than fifteen or twenty feet long. The lizards are estimated by Gunther to embrace about 1,7OO spe- cies, chiefly confined to the hot DOT tions of the earth, and comparativelv seldom passing the fortieth parallel. The serpents or snakes, like all other reptiles, are most numerous in the tropics, and rapidly diminish toward either pole. It may be safely assumed that considerably more than 900 spe- cies are known to naturalists, of which nearly half are found in British and farther India and the East Indian archipelago. Some 150 species inhabit North America north of Mexico. The crocodiles and alligators include only some twenty five more or less we'll defined species, of the tropics and sub- tropics. Two species enter the United States. The crocodiles date from an early geological period, and no less than forty fossil species are found in British strata alone. An ancient spe- cles of India must have attained a length of fifty or sixty feet.

Mark Twain, who has delighted in his time hundreds of thousands of people, is now referred to as "a pumped out humorist." This is un- grateful and it is probably also untrue. It Is true he has ceased to write humor of late years, but if he is wealthy, as report states, the necessity for his per forming literary labor no longer ex- ists. It is therefore to be presumed. in the absence of any information to the contrary, that Mark has laid aside his pen because he no longer needs to use 1t, and not because the fountain of his inspiration is dry. A pumpei- out humorist.'' "Where be vour gibes now? Your gambols? Your flashes of merriment that were wont to set the table in roar?" Neverthe- less, we guess Mark can stand it, if he has pumped in about million dollars while the pumping -out pro- cess has been going on.-Boston Courier

BLOOD AND MONEY.

The blood of man has much to do in sha apino his actions during his pilgrimage through thi, troublesome world regardless of the amonnt or present or eNpectant money in pocket or stored away in bank. It is conceded fact that we appear as our blood makes us, and the purer the blood, the happier, healthier, pret tier, and wiser we are; hence the oft repeated interrogatory, "how is your blood:" With pure streams of life-giving fluid coursing through our velns, bounding through our hearts and ploughing through our physical frames, our morals become better, our consti- tuition stronger, our intellectual faculties more acute and grander, and men, women and children happier, healthier and more lovely.
 The unprecedented demand, the unparal. leled curative powers, and the unmistakable proof from those of unimpeachab able character and integrity, point with an unerring finger to B. F. B-Eotanic Blood Balm-as far the best the cheapest, the quickest and the grandest and most powerful blood remedy ever before known to mortal man, in the relief and positive cure of scrofula, Rheumatism. Skin diseases, all taints of blood poison, Kid. ney complaints, old ulcers and sores, cancers. catarrh, etc.
 B. B. P. is only about three years old-a baby in age, giant in power-but no remedy Tn America can make or ever has made such a wonderful showing in it's magical powers in curing and entirely eradicating the above complaints, and gigantic sales in the face of frenzied opposition and would be moneyed 
 Letters from all points where introduced are pouring in upon us, speaking in its loud est praise. Some say they receive more bene Tt from one bottle of B. B. B. than they have rom twenty, thirty and fifty and even one hundred bottles of a boasted decoction of in ert and non-medicinal roots and branches of common forest trees We hold the proof in black and white, and we also hold the fort.

Mrs. M. N. Prince, living at 8 West Fair St. Atlanta, Ga. has been troubled for several months with an ugly form of catarrh. attended with copious and offensive discharge from both nOstrils.
 Her system became so affected and reduced that she was confined to Oed ar my noase fol some time, and received the attention of three physicians. and used 8 dozen bottles of an ex tensively advertised blood remedy, all with out the least benefit.
 She finally commenced the use of B. B. E. with decided improvement at once, and when ten bottles had been used. she was en- tirely cured of all symptoms of catarrh
 It gave her an appetite and increased her strength rapidly, and cheerfuliy recon mend it as quick and cheap tonic and Blood Purifier J. W. GLoER, Policeman
